2022 will always be a memorable year for us. It was the year we began building what is now Solace Lavender Farm. We researched, we planned, we stressed, and then we did it! We planted a full acre of about 1,600 lavender plants and hoped for the best. To our delight, the plants love our soil and climate, and they grew tremendously. We can’t wait to see them burst into color this year!
Big Plans for 2023
2023 is going to be a big year for us! Not only are we planting another acre of lavender, we'll be offering experiences and products for the first time! Here’s a brief look at what will be happening at Solace Lavender Farm this year:
U-Pick Days:
This is what we’re most excited for in 2023! For the first time, we will be opening the farm to the public so that you all can experience the beauty and peace that a field of lavender brings. Imagine yourself surrounded by a sea of purple, breathing in the soothing scent of lavender, picking a bundle (or several bundles!) of lavender straight from the source. Now imagine yourself looking up and smiling for the best profile picture you’ve ever taken!
We'll have more details as we get closer, but we expect the lavender to be blooming around the month of June. Make sure you subscribe to our email list to be the first to get updates about U-Pick Days!
Photography Sessions:
Hey photographers, this is for you! We have received lots of requests about shooting your sessions in the field while the lavender is blooming. We absolutely want to make this happen for you! As stated above, we expect the lavender to be blooming around the month of June and yes, it will be magical. In the coming months, we will be posting details, costs, and scheduling information on our website. Make sure to follow us on Instagram—we’ll let you know when those details are up.
Flower Market & Kerman Farmers Market:
We are excited to be participating in the Flower Market this year! If you aren’t familiar with it, the Flower Market began as a pop-up market last year in Clovis and Fresno, featuring local flower growers. This year, we will be selling lavender and lavender goods at the Fresno Flower Market several Saturdays from July-October. It will be located at the beautiful Sun Stereo Warehouse in downtown Fresno. Follow us and Flower Market CA for more details.
We are also planning on participating in the Kerman Farmers Market. This is our hometown farmers market held every third Wednesday of the month, March through October. Expect to see us there July-October!
Product Launches:
One more big thing coming up this year. In addition to our U-Pick Days and the Flower Market, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy our lavender through our first products! In 2022, we had a “mini harvest” with which we’ve been able to produce a limited quantity of lavender goods. Think essential oils, hydrosol (lavender floral water), roll-on fragrance, and sachets. These won't last long, so make sure you get yours as soon as they're available.
Please, please, please help us spread the word about Solace Lavender Farm and especially our U-Pick Days! We are anticipating a big bloom and want as many people as possible to come and experience it with us. We truly believe this will be a unique experience that you won’t find anywhere else in Fresno County. Share our posts, tag your friends, and tell everyone you know to meet you at Solace Lavender Farm this summer!
Thanks!
